Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices & Cost Effective Implementation
Course Description
Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices are critical for every successful individual and company. The first module of this training course delivers many practical and new Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices concepts and tools. You will discuss these concepts and practice using practical tools in case studies and discussion groups. The second module then helps you decide in a rational way which activities are best done with internal resources and which are best outsourced. Tools and techniques are introduced which will help you ensure that outsourcing contracts are comprehensive and avoid the common pitfalls. The costs associated with equipment downtime and reduced production can be significant. Learning how to effectively manage all aspects of your industrial facility is a must

The focuses of this course as follows:

  • Risk Based Maintenance to ground maintenance contracts
  • Dashboards and real-time performance monitoring and Key Performance Indicators to monitor performance
  • Understanding Outsourcing methodologies
  • Contracting types, including Service Level Agreements
  • Continuous improvement and performance management - how to evaluate the performance with all parties involved

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

    • Evaluate and justify your maintenance programs using Value = Benefit - Cost
    • Apply Life Cycle cost and risk planning to your facility assets
    • Target Maintainability and/or Reliability in the development of your facility maintenance plans
    • Learn the Plan, Do, Review cycle of continuous improvement
    • Understand how to decide rationally what maintenance activities to outsource and what is not
    • Understand the different types of maintenance contracts and when and how to apply them
    • Learn how to define service levels and monitor the contractor performance
    • Learn how to develop and negotiate a maintenance contract
    • Recognize the pitfalls
    • Understand how to evaluate the delivered performance of all parties involved
    • Learn how to implement maintenance contract management
  • Maintenance managers
